I really don't care as long as you sound 17 or above...but I really do not mind anyways unless it is spam

I didn't play M-rated games when i was ten years old.

 

Too busy playing with my Tonka trucks and Thomas the Tank engines

Im 14 and sound like im 16-17, that mean i shouldnt get a mic?

 

My first video game was Mortal Combat for the PS1 =P

 

 

Sol =)

[Italian Jew]

Meh, if you don't have a mic, don't care. You aren't going to be talking anyway.

 

Bah, enough of you teenagers getting pissed at not being 17, zomg.If you sound around 17 you are fine, don't take it personally.

 

lol

 

My first was Mario bros. and Duckhunt for NES

When we first tried to implement the rule about age to talk or whatever, I was for it. The more I think about it, it's insanely unfair. Not everyone who is young is annoying. Some of the younger players here are more mature than some of the older. Sometimes it's surprising to find out their ages; Havok, Sol, Bron.

 

But, yes majority of little kids on mic sound the same and/or are annoying.

Yeah, they do all sound the same. I don't know if it is because their mics suck or that all mics do that to kid voice frequencies (or whatever scientific reason you can come up with).

It's mostly because the voice codec is extremely low-bitrate so any resonance you have in the extreme high or low frequency ranges tends to get cut off. My voice booms through walls IRL but I pretty much just sound like a 16yo nerd in-game cause of the compression combined with the dynamic response of an average set of computer speakers.

 

With the in-game voice codec there's pretty much just shrill, normal, and deep voices. Can't really tell much difference unless someone has a particularly unique voice like scraps. I'm pretty sure someone says he sounds like Ray Romano at least once every day. There's one guy who sounds exactly like Microsoft Sam too but I can't remember who he is, it's Something Wolf.

lol im 14 but the only time i talk is to ask a person to obey the rules or just to say hi to my friends but yea sometimes i can tell the older players get annoyed when like 8 year olds play and as soon as i hear the words:""ST*U on the mic until your balls drop little kid" to another player, personalyy i dont speak when i hear that as i try to get on everybody's good side and im want to be nice to everyone i know.(personally noone has ever told me to do that)

 

but i do understand why you guys tried to implamate that rule on here.

[Captain Colon]

It's not so much their voices that are annoying, but the fact that they NEVER know when to shut up. It's not like they're even having a conversation with anyone, it's just "guuuys let me fly the chopper i know what im doing just trust me okay guys come on i know what to do okay guys guys guys guys guys guuuuyyyyyyyssssss"

[VirDeBello]

The rule is basically if you mic spam or just do stupid stuff with it, then you git kicked and then following up with bans for 10 mins and so on and so forth. Annoying voices is an opinion not a fact. Mic spamming is a fact because we can all identify playing music on the mics or screaming into the mics as mic spamming. I am pretty sure thats how the rule goes for that.

Actually mic spamming is also an opinion (I happen to enjoy it when someone plays the right music at the right volume), it's just when the majority of the server has the opinion "this is fucking annoying" that action is usually taken. There's one guy that plays at night and communicates with nothing but an arnold soundboard and an occasional line of text; nobody's ever had a problem with him.

 

It's quite self-explanatory when you consider that spam is, by its definition, unwanted. If everyone's getting a kick out of it then it's not really spam. That's the reason I tend to be pretty laid-back about the spamming rule at least. If nobody's complaining then I'll let them be, but if nobody wants to hear it then see you in 24 hours.
